The fold 36 of the guide shown in Fig. 7 has an offset portionsuch as indicated at 38 and which is for the same purpose as are theoffset portions 5 scribed.

It is to be understood that the parting trips shown in Fig. 6 can beextended throughout the length of the opening with in the window casingand, if desired, the inodilicd form of guide shown in Fig. 7 can also beextended throughout the length of the window opening. If preferred. andas shown in Fig. 11, instead of utilizing metallic top and partingstrips such as heretofore de cribed, the stop strips 3!) can be fcrmedwith a guide groove for the reception of the ends or runners of thescreen head, the lower ends of these grooves being enlarged. as at ll.so as to enable the head to move into the hood provided therefor. 'herethe stop strip is grooved in this manner it is formed with a rece s -12in one wall thereof corresponding with the offset portions 5. 32 and 38.'lhe parting strip 43 can be similarly groov l. said groove extendingeither partly or entirely along the full length of the nindow opening.One or more hoods ll similar to the hoods t may be used in conn --tioowith the grooved parting strip and the scre n. when used in connectionwith this modified structure. will operate in the. same manner asheretofore described.

It. will be apparent that a reen such as herein described isadvantageous because, wh n not in use, it is completely hou ed andprotected. The screen is furthermore advantageous because it can bereadily disengaged from the sash so as to leave an unobstructed openingwhen the sash is opened, importance being attached to th fact that theash. when closed, will be automaticz'zlly coupled to the screen so that,when the sash is subsetpwntly raised the screen will be Him edtherewith. The structure is very sinr plc in ct.-nst1'i|ctioi1 and canbe readily applied to an ordinary window casing and sash eithoutrequiring the services of a skilled mechani What claimed is:

1. The combination with a normally rolled screen fabric, and a headconnected to one and heretofore de-.

l l l end thereof, of channeled guides for the reception of the sideedges of the fabric and of the ends of the head, said channels havingoffset portions, means adapted to be attached to a window sash, andmovable in one direction to automatically engage the head and in theopposite direction to shift the head and the fabric with the sash, saidhead being movable into the offset portions of the channels to becomedisengaged from said means.

2. The combination with a window casing, a sash, and channeled guidemember connected to the casing, said members having offset portions, ofa hood secured to the casing, a normally rolled screen fabric adapted tobe housed Within the hood, a head connected to the fabric and movableagainst the hood, said head being connected to one end of the fabric,the ends of the head and the side edges of the fabrig being movablewithin the channeled guide members, and means upon the sash forautomatically engaging the head when the sash is closed and for shiftingthe head and fabric with the sash when said sash is opened. said headbeing movable into the offset portions to disengage the said means onthe sash.

3. In a device of the class described a hood comprising a housing andhaving an inset portion, a normally rolled screen fabric within andadapted to extend beyond the hood, a head upon one end of said fabricand adapted to be seated within the inset portion, said head including ahandle portion and a resilient hooked portion, and means adapted to movewith the sash for auto matically engaging said hooked portion when thesash is closet] and for shifting said hooked portion and the screenfabric when the sash is opened, channeled guides for the reception ofthe side edges of the fabric, each of the channels within the guideshaving an offset portion, said head being shift.- ahle into the offsetportions to disengage the hooked portion from said means on the sash.

In testimony that .I claim the foregoing as my own, I have heretoaffixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
